Corporate Sustainability

For HSBC, being sustainable means managing our business globally for the long term.

This means achieving sustainable profits for our shareholders, building long-lasting relationships with our customers, valuing our highly committed employees, respecting the environment, and investing in the communities in which we operate.

We value a culture of dependability, doing the right thing, being open to different ideas and cultures and being connected to our customers, communities, regulators and each other. These values and principles are embodied by our employees and extend beyond our walls. They drive our organization's commitment to giving back to the communities we serve.

We recognize the responsibility our company and our people have in contributing to a thriving, successful society. To fulfill this responsibility, we seek out initiatives that, through our community investments, will make a difference in people's lives.

Our employees have partnered with many nonprofit organizations to provide both financial support and volunteer assistance and the primary emphasis for our giving is on programs that are focused on education, community development, and the environment.
